Default "O" Ring Size ???????????????

Hi there, I have a 1981 corvette with a TH 350 C transmission. It has a lock up torque converter. I need the little "O" ring that goes at the end of the shaft. Can't seem to locate it anywhere. I have a hugh supply of "O" rings at work and thought if I had the measurements I could match it up at work. TIA.

In the past I have been able to make a too large diameter O-ring fit by cutting it down. Use a very sharp razor, cut the ends square and glue back together with a dab of crazy glue. I have done this many times on Caterpillar construction equipment and it can withstand a 3000 psi hydraulic system.
